Personality Contest Set By Sig Eps
Nineteen hopeful Trojans will try to out-smile and out-charm each other tomorrow night as the first of a series of Sigma Phi Epsilon “Personality Tournaments" is inaugurated. The site of ie tournaments will be the Sig Ep house.
The women will be judged on their beauty, personality, and poise according to Bob Sandel, tournament chairman.
Saturday night the champion will be crowned 1955 Queen of Hearts during the dance at the Statler Hotel.
Steve Dunne, star of TV’s “Professional Father” and a Sig Ep, ’48, will crown the queen.
Tne 19 combatants competing for the title include Connie Dur-ell, A Chi O; Barbara Scott, ADPi; Bonnie Young, AEPhi; Donna Ross, Alpha Gam; Marilyn Anderson, AOPi; and Carol Daniels, Alpha Phi.

be more incorrect.
The author of the article cited the use of tariffs and past land grants to railroads, hoping to convince the casual reader that with these actions we ceased being capitalistic, Adams said. “But the supporters of high tariffs advocate these measures to protect our capitalistic enterprises from foreign influences,” he argued.
Stimulated Progress
“When our government alloted land to the railroads, it stimulated private, not socialized, progress,” he said. “If the land and other given incentives which were needed to balance the tremendous ‘risk adventure’ taken by the railroads were not given, Adams said it would be impossible to expect private enterprise to dvelop industry.”
“One need only note that this capitalistic stimulus was not implemented in Great Britain, Germany and France, and consequently in all of these countries the railroads are government-owned,” he said.
Misunderstood
Adams contends the editorial writer Paul Wasserman misunderstood the Dixon-Yates power contract provisions, and, consequently, labeled the plan “creeping socialism” similar to the Tennessee Valley Authority.
In the first place, Adams said, contrary to the editorial, the Dixon-Yates contract will not “build an atom producing plant for commercial use instead of having TVA do it. Dixon-Yates will merely supply electric power to a proposed atom plant which current TVA .facilities cannot adequately provide.”
No Profit
Secondly, the Dixon-Yates contract “does not guarantee the private company a profit by building the plant,” he said. “All that is guaranteed to Dixon-Yates,” the teaching assistant asserted, "is that their power shall be purchased at a given price, nothing substantially different from any business contract.”

ICC Membership Drive Starts Today
The Trojan International Club opens its week-long spring membership drive today with a booth in front of the student union, selling membership cards at $1 apiece, directed by 'Membership Chairman Kanti Patel. ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne and Student Activities Adviser Harry Nelson encourage both foreign and American students to join.
Van Alstyne lauded the club’s high degree of activity as well as its effectiveness in combining fun with education.
“I am sure that the Interna-cultural Club is the most active social organization on campus," Van Alstyne stated. “Its special appeal rests In an ability to bring all sorts of entertainment together instead of -the typical social with a few drinks, a combo, and dancing, an Intereultural event features near-professional entertainment from all over the world, and a wonderful opportunity to exchange ideas.”
Patel stressed the fact that the membership fee entitled free admission to all ICC social events. “We have purposely lowered the fee to $1 from $1.50 in an effort to enable more people to participate in our activities.”
Nelson emphasized the educa-
tional value of American students joining with foreign students in the club. I think it is particularly significant at this point because of the recent Senate resolutions passed concerning foreign students. One of these resolutions was a request that the social committees join with other groups in promoting international activities and the other was a recommendation that fraternities and sororities allow foreign students to mix socially with them.
Van Alstyne also voiced the need for more American students to realize they are welcome in the club. “After all. he explained, “the international students come to America first of all to learn about Americans, and a fine social club is the most informally effective way to help them.”
One of the most important events on the spring roster, according to Patel, is a Diamond Jubilee International program, scheduled for April or May.
A strongly personal note was injected on the matter by Van Alstyne, who said, “I’ve been to all but two of the events this year, and honestly feel I’ve come away with more enjoyment and more new friends than I gained in any previous year at SC.”

Bricker Tells SC Fraternity
by Carl Strobel
U. S. Senator John W. Bricker (R-Ohio) predicted to a group of. SC students Friday that Congress would not pass President Eisenhower’s limited military training program, calling for 6 months of active service for all 18-year-olds, for fear they might be taking the first step towards Universal Military Training.
Bricker, a Delta Chi alumnus from Ohio State University, told representatives of the local chapter that the whole history of the United States is opposed to UMT.
“Many people, including my ancestors and the President’s, came to this country to escape the draft in Europe,” Bricker said.
He predicted the extension of the present draft for four more years and said that he favored continuing educational benefits for veterans as long as the draft is in effect.
Russ Change a Surprise
The 61-year-old Senator, his face young and alive as he talked in his room at the California Club, admitted that the recent changes in the Russian government came as a surprise to him.
“It caught everybody more or less flatfooted,” Bricker said, pointing out that even government experts were unaware of the impending change.
He pointed out that the same condition prevails with the Chinese Communists in the Formosa situation, where he said the Reds’ impulsiveness may result in a dangerous situation.
Must Hold Formosa
“We’ve got to hold Formosa as a defensive perimeter because of the Philippines and Japan,” he warned.
Bricker, author of the famous Bricker Amendment to limit treaty powers and executive agreements, predicted passage of the bill this session. It was defeated last year after a seven week debate.
“I would like to have it put up to a vote of the people because I know how it would come out,” he told the group. He said the proposed amendment would prevent anyone from circumventing protective provisions in the constitution limiting dealings with foreign countries.
Senator Reminiscing
Before the talk got down to politics, Bricker was reminiscing with other Delta Chi alumni and a former Trojan mentioned a football game back in the ’30s when SC beat Ohio State.
“I bet you enjoyed that more than the last one,” Bricker quipped.
be known until the contracting bids have been made.
The university has called for bids from various local contractors, and the job will be awarded sometime this week. Two separate companies will be employed, one for cement and brickwork, for the pillars, and another for the ironwork connecting them.
Each group that has pledged $300 for a pillar and connecting section will have a bronze plaque bearing the organization name and crest on the pillar.
The position of the pillars has not yet been determined. The pillars will be numbered and a drawing held and a representative of each contributing group will draw a number to determine which pillar will bear the group’s name. The date for the drawing has not been set.
The first actual moves in the building of the Walls were made last week, when surveying began and the positions of the pillars were marked off by members of the department of operation and maintenance and the university architect’s office.
Beards Sprout In Engineering School Contest
If you spy a crowd of men walking about the campus this week with grizzly beards sprouting from their faces, don’t think SC is being invaded by prospectors from the Yukon.
These furry Trojans will merely be candidates for the Engineering School’s trophy which will be given to the man who grows the longest whiskers.
Paul Jollie, publicity director for the Engineering Council which sponsors this annual event, said applicants may register for the contest tomorrow at the Engineering student body office across the street from the school building. The only requirement is that the participants be majors in the School of Engineering. Jollie neglected to say, however, if female engineers may join the contest.
Students who don’t wish to or who can’t grow beards will have to pay a 25 cents “clean-shave fine” or be punished.
Punishment is a trial before a kangaroo court comprised of the engineering school faculty. The guilty are then towed around the school in the dreaded “cell on wheels.” The kangaroo court has never found anyone innocent during its many years of staging these trials.
This beard-growing contest is a prelude to Engineering Week whi'ch will officially begin Monday, Feb. 21. The celebration will feature a picnic, an assembly, and an address by a noted eastern engineer.
Teleforum Set At New Time This Spring
Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid’s weekly TV program “Teleforum” will appedar at a new time this spring. The first program of the season, at 8 p.m. tonight, will feature Dr. Carlton C. Rodee, expert on Russian affairs from the SC political science department, and Dr. D. T. Kattell from the UCLA political science department.. They will discuss “What Are the Implications of the Political Shakeup in Russia?”
The change in program time was made because “most of our viewers find it more convenient to watch an early program,” according to Chancellor von KleinSmid. The program formerly appeared at 10 p.m. on Sundays over KTLA, Channel 5.
“Although we had to sacrifice make the change, we feel that it was worthwhile,” he said. “We were the only one-hour informative program on the air.”
Petitions Available For Model U. N. Meet
Petitions for members in the SC delegation to the fifth annual meeting of the Model UN may be picked up in 420 FH anytime this week. Deadline for returning petitions is Friday, 3 p.m.
SC will play the part of Canada in this year’s session, which will meet in San Francisco, May 5, 6, and 7, according to Kathy Norstrom, president of the International
Relations Council.
Phrateres Will Snap Troy Grins
Plan to smile cheerily all week or you may be photographed frowning during “Hello and Smile Week,” sponsored by the SC chapter of Phrateres.
A roving photographer will be lurking behind corners to catch unposed shots of smiling Trojans today and tomorrow, said Diane Carlotti, president of Phrateres.
Finalists for King and Queen of Smiles will be chosen Wednesday evening and notified Thursday so they will be able to attend the “Hello and Smile” formal Saturday night.
Three men and three women finalists will be chosen by Counselor of Women Edwarda White, Student Activities Adviser Harry Nelson, and Phrateres officers.
Winners Secret Miss Carlotti said that winners' identity will be secret until announced at the formal. The king and queen will receive gift certificates from Silverwood’s, record albums of their own choice from Donn’s Record Shop, and engraved trophies.
“Phrateres are sponsoring the contest to help make new freshmen feel at home at SC,” Miss Carlotti said, “We chose February instead of September because students entering at mid-term don’t have nearly as many orientation activities as students entering in the fall semester.”
Must Wear Tags To be photographed as a candidate for King and Queen of Smiles, students must be wearing “Hello and Smile” tags. Tags may be obtained from a booth in front of the Student Union or from any Phrateres member. •
Rosemary Arnold designed the tags, which are smiling red lips with a space for the students first name.
The week wil1. be climaxed with a formal Saturday night at the Santa Inez Inn near Pacific Palisades. The Phi Delt band will play at the dance for the national service ’organization. Phrateres chapters from SC, UCLA, and L.A. State College will be represented at the formal. A cocktail party at the home of Ruth Gerst will preceed the event.
Phrateres are reviving a tradition in “Hello and Smile Week,” said vice-president Judy Orlich. The week was resumed last May after six years.

Italian Journal Reprints Article By Professor
by Rodger Darbonne
Daily Trojan Managing Editor
An article in an SC publication, “The Personalist,” commanded greater international attention recently when it was reprinted in an Italian philosophical journal.
“Rassegna Di Filosofia,” the journal from the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Rome, reprinted a book review by Dr. Herbert L. Searles on “The Philosophy of F.C.S. Schiller." The original review ran in the Winter 1954 issue of ‘The Personalist.”
An international review of philosophy, religion, and literature, “The Personalist,” published by the School of Philosophy, has gained fame for the University by its scholarly articles dealing with basic modes of philosophical thought.
Publicizes SC
The quarterly has been dubbed as doing “more to publicize the University than any other cultural effort.” India, Korea, China, Arabia, Russia, South Africa, and most of the countries of Europe are represented on the subscription files of the SC magazine .
Infamy, too, is associated with the publication. Subscribed to in Moscow, the Russian propagandists have hurled attacks against both the magazine and its editor, Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, as an organ of capitalism and a per-verter of youth.
The San Francisco Opera House, where the original UN charter was signed April; 1954, will house the General Assembly of the Pacific Coast model meet.
Host Institution is San Francisco State College, which will play the role of Russia.
Junior statesmen from colleges and universities from 11 western states, Hawaii, Alaska. Canada, and Mexico will participate in the parley.
In playing the role of Canada, SC will not have a seat on the Security Council because Canada iJ not a member of the body. SC will have direct membership in the General Assembly, Political and Security Committee, Trustee Committee, Social and Humanitarian Committee, Ad Hoc Membership Committee, Charter Revision Committee, International Labor Organization, International Monetary Fund. UNESCO, and the International Court of Justice.
One of the most controversial committees is expected to be the Charter Revision committee, according to Perry Spanos, graduate adviser to the SC delegation and former chief delegate of \he group.
“The reason for this.” Spanos said, “is that the UN charter provides for charter revision every 10 years. This being the tenth year of the UN, an attempt may be made to eliminate the veto provision of the charter.”
Miss Norstrum said that although there are few major differences between U.S. and British Commonwealth foreign policy, Canada’s main challenge will be to steer an intelligent course between these differences.
Basic requirements for a delegate position are having a knowledge of the UN Charter and procedures, being familiar with Canadian policy, having knowledge of current events, and possessing speaking ability.
Applicants will be interviewed by members of the IR Council Monday. Final selection of representatives will be made by the IR council and the faculty of the School of International Relations.

Italian Journal Reprints Article By Professor
by Rodger Darbonne
Daily Trojan Managing Editor
An article in an SC publication, “The Personalist,” commanded greater international attention recently when it was reprinted in an Italian philosophical journal.
“Rassegna Di Filosofia,” the journal from the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Rome, reprinted a book review by Dr. Herbert L. Searles on “The Philosophy of F.C.S. Schiller." The original review ran in the Winter 1954 issue of ‘The Personalist.”
An international review of philosophy, religion, and literature, “The Personalist,” published by the School of Philosophy, has gained fame for the University by its scholarly articles dealing with basic modes of philosophical thought.
Publicizes SC
The quarterly has been dubbed as doing “more to publicize the University than any other cultural effort.” India, Korea, China, Arabia, Russia, South Africa, and most of the countries of Europe are represented on the subscription files of the SC magazine .
Infamy, too, is associated with the publication. Subscribed to in Moscow, the Russian propagandists have hurled attacks against both the magazine and its editor, Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, as an organ of capitalism and a per-verter of youth.
The San Francisco Opera House, where the original UN charter was signed April; 1954, will house the General Assembly of the Pacific Coast model meet.
Host Institution is San Francisco State College, which will play the role of Russia.
Junior statesmen from colleges and universities from 11 western states, Hawaii, Alaska. Canada, and Mexico will participate in the parley.
In playing the role of Canada, SC will not have a seat on the Security Council because Canada iJ not a member of the body. SC will have direct membership in the General Assembly, Political and Security Committee, Trustee Committee, Social and Humanitarian Committee, Ad Hoc Membership Committee, Charter Revision Committee, International Labor Organization, International Monetary Fund. UNESCO, and the International Court of Justice.
One of the most controversial committees is expected to be the Charter Revision committee, according to Perry Spanos, graduate adviser to the SC delegation and former chief delegate of \he group.
“The reason for this.” Spanos said, “is that the UN charter provides for charter revision every 10 years. This being the tenth year of the UN, an attempt may be made to eliminate the veto provision of the charter.”
Miss Norstrum said that although there are few major differences between U.S. and British Commonwealth foreign policy, Canada’s main challenge will be to steer an intelligent course between these differences.
Basic requirements for a delegate position are having a knowledge of the UN Charter and procedures, being familiar with Canadian policy, having knowledge of current events, and possessing speaking ability.
Applicants will be interviewed by members of the IR Council Monday. Final selection of representatives will be made by the IR council and the faculty of the School of International Relations.
